Are you experiencing overwhelming grief, struggling with communication in your relationships, or finding it challenging to navigate the complexities of adolescence? I can provide tailored support to address these issues and more. In grief counseling, I offer empathetic guidance to help you navigate the stages of grief, process your emotions, and find healing after loss. For couples therapy, I utilize Gottman-trained strategies to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen your relationship bonds. In youth therapy, I create a supportive environment where adolescents can explore their identity, develop coping skills, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. My holistic approach integrates various therapeutic modalities to address the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, fostering comprehensive healing and well-being.
